BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 35 minutes ago, UVAObserver said: Tons of credit to Gate City on the upset. The Devils adapted well to the pace and flow of the game, and Graham couldn’t match it. The shooting was virtually even (GC: 18-42, Graham: 19-41), but fouls and free throws were the difference. Graham didn’t appear to have a “Plan B” to throttle back the pressure to avoid the fouls, and when your opponent is shooting 1-and-1s in the 3rd quarter, FTs can make a game snowball in a hurry. Graham did virtually this same thing to a team considered untouchable 3 years ago, and tonight it came full circle. Basketball’s a screwy game. 🤣 You're comparing this Graham team to the Mac GC team that won a state title and had already clinched berth in state tourney?

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 If you would have just came on, ate a little crow, admitted Graham wasn't quite as good and GC was better than you thought, I would not rub it in. But it seems like you're still trying to downplay the M7 and play up Graham instead of recognizing the M7 is considerably better than SWD this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seems like you're still trying to downplay the M7 and play up Graham instead of recognizing the M7 is considerably better than SWD this year The top of the M7 is definitely much better than the top of the SWD, but I think the reality is that outside of Union, Graham, GC (and Abingdon I guess but they are 3A) the rest of Region 2D is all just mediocre. Richlands spanked Battle and I’m pretty sure that 2-6 in the SWD and 4-7 in the M7 would all just beat up on each other given the night. I do think Ridgeview is clearly the next best team, but the way that Marion hung in with them tells me that they would probably drop a game somewhere.

You talked an awful lot about this year but now you're moving the goalposts. You made it seem like we were all so wrong about the M7 this year but it turns out, Tigerman was 100% correct.
